If you've been sceptical about the true quality of smartphones Samsung can offer, the Galaxy S7 should be a great example. One part of the latest hits from Samsung for early 2016, the Galaxy S7 is many ways similar to its much larger and edgy counterpart, only that it is embodied in a smaller form.Its design is an iteration of Samsung's newer model, with most of the Galaxy S6's best features making a comeback. Combining a raw glass and metal unibody, this year's flagship receives a small curve on its rear panel which gives it a little less slab-like feel.Learning from last year's criticism, Samsung has also equipped the S7 phone with a microSD slot.

Galaxy Note 5
The Note 5 follows the design language found in most of Samsung's Galaxy S range of smartphones.

The camera is exceptional, with software also being optimized for better pen application.Like most of Samsung's 2015 handsets, it forgoes the inclusion of an expandable memory storage and a removable battery.

Samsung Galaxy S6

To say the least, the Galaxy S6 was a major revamp from its predecessors, swapping the plastic design, for glass build both at the front and back panels.

Another significant change was rather than the typical removable battery and a microSD slot as seen on previous Galaxy S phones, the S6 handset bundles a slightly smaller battery and lacks microSD support. Nevertheless, it makes up for this with support for wireless charging and quick charging along with an adequate 32GB of internal storage.
